On Nay Is' OF this year. the

with accrued interest, was "a little

debt entirely iaside oil two years,
and save the country nearly htty
millions a year in interest.
We spend as much for rum each
year as the total wages of ali the
workingmen Of the country.
We pay out $500, 900, 600 II year

We spend for rum nearly three

the annual total for the latter item
being about 1903. 600, 600.
The total value of the entire
product of all our iron aud steel in

There are many people who
groan over the cost Of Il public

Germ and Whisky.

We are not very familiar with
the current prices of alcoholic bev-
erages, So we cannot vonch for the
accuracy OF the figures given in the
Milling World, from which we
make the following extract. If
they are anywhere near the truth.
both corn growers and whisky con
suulers ought to be made acquaint-
ell with their significance
Let our correspondent, says the
editor, trace a bushel Of corn, for
instance, from the field 10 the
drinkers glass. The grower works
at least two hours in raising a
bushel of corn. He sells the bush
ell for thirty cents on his farm. lie
spends the thirty cents tor two
drinks, thus parting forever with
his corn. Now follow the corn.
1t costs thirty cents, and is turned
into II quarts of intoxicating drink.
The dissillers receive forty cents a
gallon tor converting it into wills
ky. The corn in it's changed shape
represents the original thirty cents,
AMI the $1.7O for the distlller, ma
king its value at this stage 81.
Then the Government tax of 80
Cents a gallon adds 1886 to the
value, swelling it to 1855. The
bushel Of corn now passes on to
the iop salesmen and wholesalers,
and through them to the retailers.
BY the time 1t has reached the re-
tailers 1t has been 4" reduced in
strength and increased in quantity
by the admiNture of water and
other more harmful substances, SO
that its meaSuae has at laast been
doubled, and the corn, when it be-
gins to drop into the drinkers
glasses on the bar, represents aOout
eight and one-hali gallons of drink.
Allowing sixty drinks to the gal
lon, the official bar average, the
bnshel OF corn will furnlih 270
drinks, which at an average OF Is
cents to the drink, will take $40. 80
from the pockets of the consumers.
This, added TO the $3.50 pat into
the corn mp to the time OF reaching
the isbbers, makes alotal Of $40.

SOUND yIEWS FROM THE MAYoR

II Mayor Hewitt carries out the Ideas he
has EXPRESSED 10 committees calling on him
concerning appointments the city government
will be much improved. Speaking Of the
vacancy in tho Park Department, he says
that lie wants a man with the requisite bust
ness and technical qualifications for Pres
idcnt of the Commission and one who will
give his entire time to the duties OF the Office
IL must be admitted that 1t will be difficult
to find such a man at n salary of 5000.
But the Mayor can safely overlook the tech
meal knowledge which he tn nls such man
should possess. The Park Commission must
to large extent be guided by experts who
have been specially trained for their work
With the aid Of such counsel good business
man, with taste for his duties and knowl-
edge Of city affairs. ought to fill the place
acceptably. 1t Is important that such an
official should be under no obligations to
politicians or associations of any kind. Right
here is where the Mayor is likely to fail
Park Commissioners, as well as other officials
with few exceptions, have been selected out
of regard TO personal and political considera-
tons. II the Mayor carries ont his con-
viction that the test shall be that OF fitness
alone, the city will be the gamer.
If the Mayor could find some way to compel
CITY officials to give their time during business
hours to tho city he would bring about an inn
portant reform II is notorious thai many Of
the best paid city officials, the Police Justices,
the City Chamberlain and even Judges
drawing salaries Of more than 1000 a
month, devote large part Of their timo
during business hours to private affairs.
Park Commissioners are rarely to be found
at the offices of that Department; and with
the exception of the Controller the Com
missioner of Public Works and a few others.
this is generally true Of department heads

TIE CANADIAN SEIZURES.

The facts in relation to the recent seizures
in Canadian waters are still disputed. The
seine-boats belonging to the French and
Argonaut are declared by the Canadian Off
Gals to have been caught q hing two miles
from shore. If this be true, the men were
poaching on forbidden preserves, and the
vessels themselves could properly have been
seized for violating the provisions OF the
treaty of 1918. The American fishermen
make the point that they had set their nets
outside the three-mle limit but their boats
mad drifted in with the tide. This is no
defence: and unless the statements Of the
Canadian officials can be ocntrovcrted, these
captured fishermen deserve neither sympathy
nor support. Under the treaty they had no
fishing rights within the three-nile lint, and
disobeyed the instructions OF the owners in
yenturing out Of bounds.
The case Of the Hodgson Is similar in most
respects to the majority Of last years out
RACES in those waters. As the American
Consul General narrates thu facts the schoOn-
er was searching for dory which had been
lost with its crew in fog, and for neglecting
to report at the Custom House after anchor
ing inside the bar and sending boat ashore
to inquire for the mi ng sailors, 1t is seized
and held for the payment of a fine of $500.
There is no proof that bait had been secured
or that the vessel entered Shciburne harbor
for any purpose except the lau~ able one Of
searching for sailors who had lost Their ship
and were adrift in a small boat For tech
meal violation Of the customs regulations the
vessel is seized and heavily fined precisely
40 many other Fl hing vessels were harassed
last year. The seizure as represented by the
American sul-General is q tiag,ant out
rage Ii it be repeated. the ANN sIraton
should think seriously OF ng the exlraor-
binary powers Of retaliation conferred upon
IL by Congress at the last session.

vention on this matter The chances Ter
Republican victory in Ohio this year are
unusually bright, and it would be the height
of folly TO hazard the result by foolish
vraugle over the Pres DENTAL nomination
wear in advance of the National Convention
The Maryland Democratic platform ike
that of Ohio, while Endorsing President
Cleveland, is significantly silent on the Civil
Service reform queston. 1t could hardly
be otherwise with Senator German, Mo RS
A. Thomas "Gene" Higgins, and other
"reformcrss in control Of the party machln-
ery. But a plank from these men In favor
of Civil Service reform would not have been
more ridiculous than their demand for law
to secure the purity of the ballct-box. The
only obstacle to the passage of such law IN
the past has been the opposition OF the
Democratic leaders. The recent conviction
of q number of their followers for election
frauds evidently leads them to believe that
they can fool the public by declaring in favor
OF fair vote and an honest count.
